Red Dead Redemption 2's Delay is a... Relief?

A busy fall makes the wait for 2018 a bit more bearable.

seanpitt233289d ago

It's not a Relief to me I have been looking forward to this game since they announced it last year, thinking only a couple more months to go, but deep down i knew something was up because we haven't heard anything in 6 months.

I have waited 7 years since the first red dead redemption I thought rockstar wouldn't do this to there fans again after a decade of doing it.
But I was wrong only a year to wait now guys it wouldn't of been so bad if they just said coming soon or not announce it at all and then announce it later on this year for next year.

Let's just hope it will come out in may not any later but Iam not holding my breathe.

mikeslemonade3288d ago

Fall ain't that busy this year. And I want Red Dead 2 to come out sooner so GTA 6 can come out sooner.

SoldierTypeNtGen3288d ago

Yeah delays wouldn't even exist if developers Would just know there 100% percent know that it will be finish by the date.

TheOttomatic913288d ago

For those who were waiting for it nope but for those like me who know Rockstar always release quality titles and take their time with it I expected as much.

Not really, as far as I am concerned RDR2>>>>> Any other AAA game this fall. If you seriously consider AC, CoD, Battlefront a threat to this game you are crazy or actually would want to play them more so you are even more crazy lol.

Game is not coming out because Rockstar or Take Two are worried about competition, it was delayed because the game needs more work. How anyone is relieved or excited about the disappointing news is beyond me.

You think Rockstar views Red Dead 2 as a failure because it didn't sell 150m copies?

jznrpg199d ago

3 billion or so in revenue not including online stuff I’m sure they don’t

SethNW198d ago

I am pretty sure they don't. It was profitable and made them a lot of money. Not GTA5 money but far from failure. Maybe it is lower priority franchise, due to being smaller, but that is about the lowest they would put it as. Only thing they do consider failure is RDR2 Online, unlike GTA5 Online, that RDR2 Online flopped. Hence why it got less support. And when it come to profits, sales for both combined don't come close to GTA Online microtansactions. Hence why everything very quickly got canceled and GTA Online was top priority, so no GTA6 for a long time, no DLC for GTA5, despite there being 5 DLCs planned, at least I think it was 5, give or take one. But as I see it, they needed to rejuvenate interest and all, hence why GTA6 eventually is getting made. But what they are really looking forward to is refresh of Online.

ZeekQuattro198d ago

Only in terms of the online aspect of the game. They didn't support it as much as they did GTA V Online. I remember people being pissed about that.

jznrpg199d ago

I own a few GTAs but never played them. I love Red Dead though

Yui_Suzumiya193d ago (Edited 193d ago )

Boring and overrated. Red Dead Redemption is pretty good though. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is my personal GOAT. We need more stuff like that from TooKyo.

victorMaje199d ago

I must be one of the few who are fine with the GTA6 delay. People treat that game like it’s the 2nd coming lol.

FIELDMARSHALL_P198d ago

My daughter asked me how I felt about I shrugged and said I don't care gives me time to finish up games I already have. It's all good let them make the best game they can.

RedDevils198d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake198d ago

The world they built is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the game was mostly boring to me. I definitely had fun in some parts, but it didn't do it for me as a whole like the first one did. I loved RDR so much.

The budgets and time it takes to make games these days is out of control. Such a big risk. If a game isn't a huge hit, it is often it for a studio. Scary. I really miss the PS2 and PS3 days where studeios could make 4 games in a generation and take risks in making something new. And so many were using their own engines. Those were the days.

neutralgamer1992203d ago

Agreed. I love RDR but couldn't get into RDR2. The animations take forever and game slows you down on purpose. It won't let you have fun because R* want us to play the game they want to. I know millions love RDR2 and I even bought and own it. But just wasn't for me.

It's like comparing GTA4 to saints row 2. One game was about fun while the other was about realism and that's coming from someone who beat GTA4 many times. I much rather a game be fun to play than chase realism

YodaCracker203d ago

GTA IV’s realism is what made it so much more fun for me. I loved experimenting with the physics.

Storm23202d ago

I bought RDR2 also. Put 100+ hours into it and beat it our of respect for Rockstar and all the people saying it was the greatest game ever. RDR blew my mind but might also have been the best time in gaming for me personally. l loved that PS3 gen so much.

I am excited to see what GTA6 is like.
